Maintenance & Restoration

                                                                                                    
All homes require periodic maintenance. Log

homes and cabins are no exception. The

difference lies in the unique needs of the exterior log

walls which are exposed to the elements of our

Oklahoma weather. Untreated log walls have the risk

of developing rot and decay from the rain and ultra-

violet rays.

ased on the needs of your home, we offer power washing, cob blasting, and chemical stripping. If your

home has chinking between the logs it needs to be

checked and maintained in order to prevent moisture

and unwanted weather from entering the interior and. All

logs have the potential to develop checking, or splits along

the logs, but in most cases this only adds to the character

of the log. If, however, these checks are situated in the

structure to allow water penetration, they will require caulking.

Some wood species, in particular Yellow Pine are less resistant to rot than others. A borate and mildew 

treatment may also be advised for you.

    


For our restoration projects, we partner with the Sansin Company to provide stains that are designed with the 

unique requirements of log homes in mind. We are available to meet with you and evaluate your home's 

needs with a free estimate.
